tit hair of Leipsick amounted lo between 1,000 :ea] 1,100 volumes, which, for the most part, were either compilations or insignificant books, or at least produclions which presented nothing new. But there were also some very good works which really enrich German literature. Baths, OCT. 21.--The Lindamman has just con voked a Special Commission for deliberating on the commercial interests of Switzerland. Its confer. : entes will be opened to-morrow. OCT. 21.- 7 -On the evening of the a 9th, the-seals were removed from the warehouses of the Merchants, and an inventory was taken-of dyed and spun cottons, which hitherto had not beta consider ed as colonial or English merchandize, since they were not expressly named in the tarits of , the sth Mgust land 12th September last; a provisional -se questration was also placed on all English merchart. dine, of which the quantity is-very small. No vvliete have more severe measures been taken than here against every kind of English goods. . .;•11eports had been circulated here, that the price of salt was,to be raised, the convents to be abolisi.ed; &c.; but.the Little CounCil has caused the 'follow ing notice to be inserted in the Official Paper : • " The Little Council has seen with pain that some enemies of the public tranquility take a ; pleasure in spreading divers alarming-and disquieting repents;' and that the pudic, always too credulous and easy to be deceived, permit themselves -to yield to that impulse which i 3 given to them with :lit sole view of disturbing their repose and exciting disorder. f‘ The Little Council invites the inhabitants ()Hite Canton not to lend an ear to these absurd and false reports, and not to suffer themselves . to be so lightly del.tived of.the repose aed tranquility which-it has pleased Providence to grant-us, since the establish ment of the existing older of things ;'. " Tilose who are really the frierlds - trf their coup ' try vrinnot give a more signal p'root of their devoted ness to the public good than by undeceiving their fellow•eitizetis as to the absurd reports in eireula •tion, and by pointing our to the Offieer4Of Govern- ment the ill-disposed men - who permit themselves to disseminaie or give them authorrity." FoNTAINBLEAU, OCT. 25.—The fete on Sunday look place in Francis the First's Gallery. From the . banqueating room the Court proceeded to the ball rbbna. The satisfaCtion was universal ; !Ire dancing coptinued until a late hour of night. The day before yesterday their Majesties took the `daiusement of the chase at the hermitage of Hanch ard.' A circular inelosure was prepare& into.which so' Wild briars were driven; at a signal given, all the hunters fired on the animals, and they were in as instant brought down. We hear, that on Sunday next.their Majesties will stand as sponsors in the Imperial Chapel tor the children of several officers of state and private per sons, upon whom they wish ao confer that honour. Our tow., which was some days ago so bustling, is become tranquil again. In , this respea it rtsem bles the Imperial Palace, where certain hours in the afternoon are devoted to relaxation and pleasure, but where those of the morning are passed in si lence, and, as we may say, in that meditation which prevails in the spot where Napoleon weighs the interests of the world. HAMBURGII, OCT. 22.—A nocturnal conflagra tion has here consumed four large . warehouges, the value of which is estimated at upwards of 500,000 marks Banco. The Prince Royal of Sweden is nominated Chan cellor of the University of Upsal, in room' of the deceased Count Axel de Fersen. The grand head quarters of the French army of Germany is now in tour divisions ;—that of General Friant, who ision his, march into the North of Germany ; that of General Guidin, who has gone from Hanover to Magdeburg that of General Morand, in the Hanseatic towns; and the division of Bruyere, which occupies -the for mer territories of Hanover. NAPLES, OCT. I6.—Last Tuesday, in the night, 27 gun-boats of our flotilla, which had been station-, 'ed ofl- Calabria, arrived here : they were command ed by the Capitaine de Vaisseao Correap: The whole fleet is now entering this port, having performed, the pa4s3ge without one Vessel having sustained the least damage. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. winds which have contitlikd so long, and blown so violently in the Black Sea, have placed the Capitaine Pacha. in a very troublesosne situation ; besides the malig nant fever which has spread among his men, and corn , mined great ravages, carrying off from 15 to 20 men daily. These teas-cins have determined the Turkish Admi:al.to return with his whole fleet into the ca nal for shelter, as well as to procure for his men those remedies which they so ranch want. We are also assured that the greater part ,of the Russian fleet • has also entered Sebastopol. They were equally tired with keeping the sea so long. The scarcity of corn which was experienced here last year, and the difficulty with which the army of Romelia was furnished with it have made the Go vernment resolve to u.e greater foresight this year, ft will not fall into similar in isfortune, 7 a part of 'our corn having, the preceding year, passed into fo reign countries ; but the Government has now pro hibited the exportation of it, under severe penalties. Throughotit the whole empire, the ciiiposable corn • shall be bought at its t • alue, shipped in vessels car- Tying our flag, and carried to the capital, to be there put in magazines. • . • PANSCOWA; OCT. 12.—Towards the end of the last month, a corps of 4.0,000 Turks, who had ad vanced as far as Grufchewatz, seeing that they could accomplish nothing against the Servians, and' that the winter. approached, retired upon Nissa. A corps of about 20,000 Bosnians, who passed the Drina, still preserve their position of Sokoli,. Bosnitza, and Lioolis. They are daily attacked, but' cannot be dislodged. LIERMANSTADT, OCT. 6.—They talk of a &aspen slop of arms which Russia has propoSed to Turkey, but the truth of it requires confirmation; what ap pears certain is, that the Russian troops who were proceeding towards the Danube, to support the corps stationed there, have just received counter orders. / FR NE,F 'ft?, OCT. V 6.--• It is said, that On the I. 214 t of this ninth, French troops entered Leipsic; to enforce measures similar-to what they have &tie here concerning colonial, merchAndize. There is a report that.tfie cloisters Ith Silesia will be suppresitedi but not hing pOsitive is hitherto knotvn upon that sub ject.. •We have learned.tJrn the States of Silesia have uttered a million of rcus to relieve the wants of the Government. .A letter limn_ a mercantile house upon the Banks of the Weser, states that all colnni,it produt. - : , 'Whit:h appears upon the frontiers of Westphalia, is seized, and carried off,, without the least pity or regard to certifi : ,l„;s of origin,. becaus .,cxperitlice has shewn that t: rec-fourth, of those ;ceitificiites are fidse; theuifine.they will not longer be duptid'by monopolize-s.

CALMS, OCT. 24 —At . two o'clock yesterday morning the English shi - p-ittphaton, of - . London, of 376 tons burthen, came ashore within musket shot of the Jetty to the East. She had sailed from Que bec on the 17th of September, and was bound to London, with a cargo of wood, and had been cap tured on the 20th instant,- by La Saurage privateer of Boulogne. This morning the Euglisli. ship the 'Mermaid, of '4OO tons butthen,- was brought in here. She mounts 16 eighteen•pounders and 2 nines, and had a crew, consisting of 17 men, under the command of Capt. ,John Dodds, besides four passengers, one of whore was a female. She sailed on the 9th of Septem ber from Quebec for London, and was. taken this morning by Le Perseverance, Captain Pollet, of this port. PARIS, OCT. 30...-- , The ship Julius Ccesar, of 300 tons burthen, and 15 bands, bound from New YOrk to London, has been wrecked on the coast of Dun kirk. This vessel was a plize to the Le Sublet pri vateer, of Boulogne. During the last week trade has been rather brisk, And various purchases have been made. Potash and dye woods have risen. Colonial goods, particularly coffee and sugar, have remained steady ; the two last mentioned articles having. experienced a small decline in price, which is evidently the result of a diminished consumption, and of the success of the experiments every where made on grapes and other vegetables, - , .

It - Was very confidently reported last night, that a telegraphic message had reached' the Atlmiraliy in the afternoon from Portsmouth, announcing the arrival of an officer at that port, with dispatches from Lord WELLJNGTON. irre e.labled to night;• every indivilual in the house is forced to get up immediately, a;:d every dra ;vet - , cuest, scl , )set, &c. must be / opened. Thiti visit and examination may be repeated just as often as the Officers please, and the slightest opposition to the Officer is punished with , • . the most unrelenting seventy. But the mea sure 9f BUONAPARTE which has spread the greatest misery and ' desolation throughout was his annihilating at once two-thirds of the public debt, and thus robbing the public creditors of two-thirds of their property. By this atrocious aol of violence, an immense number of families have been reduCed to absolute begpry.. During the last few years, many of the most reSpetiable Dutch merchants, in consequence of the impediments tbroWn in the . way of trade; had withdrawn their Capitals and placed them in the funds. They are now utterly, ruined, because though one-third of their capital is nominally left them, yet In the pre sent state of the fioance4, there is but little chance that the interest, even upon thatthird, will be paid. Every appearance• of trade has vanished; the .Merchants have shut up their counting-houses, and, of course, all the. persons in their service have been dismissed without the possibility of obtaining any employment. But the - most distressing part of our informant's statement was, that which related to the Hospitals and other Charitable Institutions. Their chief, and, indeed, their only support, "was the pro perty they had in the fundi, for, in the present wretched state of Holland, it is in vain to look •for voluntary contributions. By BLIONAPARTE'S decree respeaing the public funds, these InsUtutiuns were at once deprived of all their resources, and of course, the unhappy objeas whom they supported, have been lett destitute. Upwards ,of. 10,006 unfurtU- nate 'beings have in consequence -of—t4is measure been turned out of Hoipitals and other charitable in- stitutions, to perish and starve in the streets. The Gentleman from Whom we received this affliating relation saw, within these three weeks, numbers of poor creatures lying in the -"streets of Amsterdam, and • aaually dying for want. Iu the.midst of this scene of wretchedness, the FredCh Officers and sol diers betray the most unfeeling 'barbarity, and the most wanton insolcnce : they are . in general quarter ed upon such of the inhabitants as still retain Buy portion of property ; t welve, fourter&,- Greven six- teen of them are somelinues quartered upo2 one indi vidual. Such is the almost unparalleled state of misery to which that once rich and happy country his been reduced, and all this complicated nia,ss of human wretchedness has been produced by the unprinci_ pled ambition and the atrocious cruelty at ONE MAN. The Scylla, whose arrival from Corunpa we men :ioned Yesterday, has not brought any authentic in :elligence from Portugal. The Negociation fir the Exchange of prisoners is at an end. BUONAPALfrE has shown, by bls ox trav,Tant demands, that he had no desire wh'atevcr of liberating the 50,000 Frenchmen that are pri soners in this Country. We stated some days ago , from the best authority, the nature of the proposi. tion he had made. Last night we received the Moniteitr, and other &each Papers, to the ist inst. IVIASSEN4'S Dis patches respeaing the battle of Busaco had riot then reached Paris, or At least they had not been pub hilted. We learn, however, dig BUONAPARTE had I'e ed'an illumination in consequence of that vic tory.

We have been - favoured by a Gentleman of great' respbalability, who has very recently arrived from Holland, with the following details respeEting the I situation of that unhappy country. He. says, that the accounts which have. appeared , in the English Papers, of the distress occasioned in Holland by BUONAPARTE'S decrees, for the prohibition of dil commerce, and of the rigonr• with which those de crees are executed, t ill very far short of the truth. No person can go even a mile out of town without be ing minutely . searched, both .upon his leaving it, and upon his_ return.; and if he should happen to meet an Officer. of the .Customs (Douaniet) in 'the.same ceremony is re'lleated. The search for prohibited 'good4, in the, honses . of in dividuals; is carried on, if possible, in a more vexa tious manner.
